00:00:00In France, live on France
00:00:0224.
00:00:07Hello everyone, happy to have you back in the night edition,
00:00:10here are the headlines of this
00:00:13manifestation of news. On the front page in Germany, he calls the regional
00:00:16in the fields of climate, elections a disaster, but he
00:00:17energy and promises to stay in office, more weakened than ever.
00:00:22We have instructed our space agencies and our defense ministries to Chancellor Fredric Schmerz acknowledges this historic setback for
00:00:26not in agreement with the including launch his party, the CDU, evicted for the first time from a regional parliament. We will see that the
00:00:30AfD continues its
00:00:32in front of the ascent, victory for the far-left in
00:00:34Berlin. Our
00:00:37first associate member of the countries are great independent nations that want to remain so in
00:00:41Charles, the brother of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mackarne
00:00:44display their unity in the face of tensions with
00:00:47Donald Trump's America. And then
00:00:51this unchallenged victory for Vladimir Putin's party in the
00:00:54legislative elections in Russia. United Russia
00:00:58would win with over 49%
00:01:00of the votes and can count on parties favorable to the Kremlin, a third
00:01:04day of voting disrupted, we will see, by a rain of drones and cyberattacks
00:01:07from Ukraine.
00:01:22It's an earthquake for the conservatives of the
00:01:24CDU. According to the latest estimates, the party of
00:01:28Chancellor Mertz only holds 4.9%
00:01:32in the elections of Mecklenburg-Western
00:01:35Pomerania, below the 5% threshold, he is
00:01:39therefore ousted from the regional parliament, the big
00:01:41winner of this election, 15 days after Saxony, is undoubtedly
00:01:45again the AfD which is in the lead with 38.3%,
00:01:48the far-right followed by the social democrats of the
00:01:52SPD, the CDU also risks
00:01:55losing the mayoralty of Berlin in the other election of the day,
00:01:58Friedrich Schmerz, you're going to hear him, he conceded a
00:02:02disaster. Jules
00:02:04because he somewhat brushed you off with that wave of the Boatou. Surrounded by his supporters,
00:02:08Leif Éric Holm here in the
00:02:10I believe that we must center of the image in a blue suit, can finally
00:02:12exult. The candidate of the far-right party AfD
00:02:16wins the regional elections of Mecklenburg-Western
00:02:23or World Cleanup Day, Pomerania. It's a great evening for the
00:02:25AfD. We gained 20 points compared to the last
00:02:28elections. "We have the mandate to govern
00:02:32here in Mecklenburg-Western
00:02:34Pomerania." To govern this region of northeastern
00:02:38Germany, if the AfD finds allies to reach
00:02:41a majority, because just behind are the social
00:02:44democrats of the SPD, far, very far from the
00:02:48CDU of Fredrit
00:02:49More than 4 and a half years after the beginning of Schmerz. At the announcement of the first results this Sunday
00:02:52evening, all eyes turned to the chancellery, although a
00:02:56departure of the German leader in case of a debacle had been considered. But
00:03:00exceptionally for a regional election, the chancellor
00:03:03preferred to cut short the rumors by speaking, first
00:03:06to acknowledge a historic defeat.
00:03:10We cannot sugarcoat the result obtained in Mecklenburg, it
00:03:14is a disaster, but the reforms must go forward, we
00:03:18take responsibility for these reforms,
00:03:21I personally take this responsibility, because I want
00:03:25to move our country forward. A chancellor
00:03:28more weakened than ever, but... who remains, while in
00:03:31the other election of the day in Berlin, the CDU was also beaten by
00:03:35the radical left of Die Linke who could snatch the mayoralty from it in case
00:03:39of an alliance with other left-wing parties. An
00:03:42election also marked by the good score of the AfD, which
00:03:46marks a good advance and its best historical result in the
00:03:49capital.
00:03:52Emmanuel Macron and Maccarni hand in hand in Saint-Pierre and
00:03:56Miquelon, an image and a message: our countries are...
00:04:00great independent nations that want to remain so, this is what Emmanuel
00:04:03Macron declared, this visit of the Canadian Prime Minister to this small
00:04:07French territory in the North Atlantic comes against a backdrop
00:04:10of tension with the United States. Donald
00:04:13Trump, as we know, recently published a map of the entire region,
00:04:17including Canada, covered with the American flag, the
00:04:20report signed by Jules
00:04:21Boiteau.
00:04:25It's an embrace that is intended to be highly
00:04:27symbolic. Emmanuel Macron welcomes Marc
00:04:31Carnet to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a first for a Canadian
00:04:34Prime Minister, the French archipelago in the North
00:04:37Atlantic, a key place in the new cooperation that the two
00:04:41countries want to seal, in a context of tension with
00:04:44Washington. This meeting comes a few weeks
00:04:47after these publications by Donald Trump where Canada,
00:04:51Greenland and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon had passed under
00:04:54American flag. Yes, we believe
00:04:56together
00:04:58of an opposition coalition, that our countries are... independent nations that want to
00:05:01remain so, we both believe
00:05:05in democracy, the rule of law, respect for international
00:05:08law, respect for free and fair trade.
00:05:14the science on which our decisions are based
00:05:17and the strategic autonomy that we defend, in addition to its symbolic
00:05:21scope, new partnerships have also been announced
00:05:25between France and Canada
00:05:30space.
00:05:34develop and share common infrastructures,
00:05:39systems. The two leaders also discussed
00:05:42relations between Canada and the European Union, as Brussels has paved the
00:05:46way for Ottawa to become the
00:05:49EU. Getting closer to Europe,
00:05:53moving away from Donald Trump's United States, that is the message
00:05:56sent before the United Nations General Assembly this week in New
00:06:00York.
00:06:02Unsurprisingly, Vladimir Putin's party wins the legislative
00:06:06elections in Russia. According to initial polls, United
00:06:09Russia obtains more than 49%.
00:06:21drone bombs, pardon me, 1600, of which
00:06:23450 allegedly targeted Moscow, according to the mayor of the
00:06:26capital. The Kremlin announced that it would
00:06:30intensify its strikes in Ukraine. Jule Boateau, Axel
00:06:33Simon.
00:06:35According to the mayor of Moscow, it is an unprecedented Ukrainian
00:06:39offensive. The Russian capital and its region were targeted
00:06:42by several hundred Ukrainian drones, and if most
00:06:45were intercepted, several escaped Russian
00:06:49air defenses and notably struck several floors of a residential
00:06:52building in the capital or this oil
00:06:55refinery, other devices fell in this residential
00:06:59area of Sofino in the Moscow region, causing casualties and significant
00:07:02damage.
00:07:06I was leaving my building, I had taken about twenty steps from the entrance when
00:07:10the explosion rang out, the windows flew. People started
00:07:13screaming, I turned around, the entrance doors had been
00:07:16blown off, there were injured, probably even one
00:07:19dead, but we can't be sure, the rescue workers who arrived at
00:07:23the scene didn't let us get close,
00:07:27this massive Ukrainian drone attack comes in a context
00:07:30of intensifying fighting on both sides, a series
00:07:34of Russian strikes on more than 36 targets caused several deaths on Saturday and
00:07:37Sunday, including children among the victims.
00:07:41This offensive also comes on the 3rd and last day of voting in Russia
00:07:44and has been denounced by the authorities as aiming to disrupt the
00:07:48course of the election in the Kherson
00:07:51region in southern Ukraine controlled by Russia, a
00:07:55drone notably killed several people including an employee of the electoral
00:07:58commission.
00:08:02the large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, in a
00:08:05context of repression of all forms of opposition, Vladimir Putin's
00:08:09party was, unsurprisingly, announced
00:08:122 hours into the election on Sunday
00:08:13evening.
00:08:18And as you heard, a refinery
00:08:20was notably hit in Russia, which contributes to this
00:08:24already extremely tense geopolitical situation on the energy
00:08:28front with the war in the Middle East, the blocking of the
00:08:31three Dormous by Iran, of Bab el-Mandeb by the Houthi rebels
00:08:34of Yemen, anger is now rising across Europe, and notably in France,
00:08:38in the face of rising prices, gas continues
00:08:42to break records and could soon reach
00:08:45€2.60 per liter, see this report signed by Julien
00:08:48Cholin.
00:08:50Will we pay an average of a little over €2.60
00:08:54per liter of diesel in a month? The hypothesis is
00:08:58not outlandish and does not even surprise these
00:09:01motorists. I take it as an inevitability, I am
00:09:05obliged to drive, so there will have to be help
00:09:09from both sides, I don't know, but it can't continue
00:09:12like this, in any case, the tensions in the oil market,
00:09:16they are not about to stop, as evidenced by this
00:09:19plume of smoke that rose yesterday above the city of
00:09:22Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, targeted
00:09:25were the oil installations of the Saudi
00:09:28capital, an attack signed by the Houthi
00:09:32rebels supported by Iran who are gaining
00:09:35ground. Result after the blocking of the Strait
00:09:38of Hormuz, it is now another strategic passage that is
00:09:41threatened: the Strait of Bab
00:09:44el-Mandeb, enough to make oil prices rise even
00:09:48further, consequently at the pump, prices should continue to climb in the
00:09:51coming days, experts have worked, they predict
00:09:54€2.60 on average per liter of diesel in a month and
00:09:58about €2.30 for E10
00:10:02ethanol, these predictions are based
00:10:04on several parameters, obviously
00:10:08the evolution of oil prices, but also the euro-dollar exchange rate or...
00:10:12seasonality, however, obviously, there can be at any time geopolitical
00:10:16events, declarations by politicians of certain
00:10:20countries that can have a fairly rapid impact and therefore
00:10:23change our forecasts. Tomorrow the government meets in Matignon
00:10:27to approve an extension of aid schemes for professionals
00:10:30and individuals, it could, according to our information,
00:10:33widen the number of French people
00:10:35concerned.
00:10:38And now we come to this controversy which is making headlines in the
00:10:41United Kingdom, at stake, this memoir by Charles Spencer,
00:10:4530 years after Diana's disappearance, a book that has
00:10:48not yet been released but has already caused a lot of fuss, the
00:10:52Princess's brother accused this Sunday King
00:10:56Charles II of wanting to discredit his story.
00:10:59Longueval.
00:11:01He Charles, the ex husband and
00:11:06Lady. Two men, one woman
00:11:09and a phrase that 30 years later, shakes the
00:11:13United Kingdom. It would have been uttered by the King, then Prince,
00:11:17to his brother-in-law during an argument
00:11:20just after Diana's death.
00:11:23He said: ...ironically quickly and after a
00:11:27stunned silence, I replied: "I can't believe you just said
00:11:30that." A conversation revealed in the memoirs of Diana's
00:11:34brother, a 400-page book intended, according to
00:11:38him, to restore the truth about his
00:11:40sister. It provoked the denial, as rapid
00:11:43as it was unusual, from Buckingham Palace.
00:11:47His Majesty is aware that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud
00:11:51reason, alter judgment and distort memories.
00:11:55The brother ironized, it's not every day that you wake up
00:11:58to find out that the king tried to make you out to be someone whose memories are not
00:12:02reliable, exchanges relayed by divided
00:12:05newspapers, monstrous titles this
00:12:08tabloid, why is he doing this to the king now
00:12:11asks another, among the British people,
00:12:15everyone takes a side, I
00:12:18think he's doing it just to sell his books, I don't believe what he
00:12:20says, King Charles treated
00:12:24Diana so badly. I think he could have said that, I believe his
00:12:27brother. Nearly 30 years after her death,
00:12:30Lady D continues to unleash passions. Even before the
00:12:34release of her brother's book, four copies were stolen from a
00:12:38truck in the Netherlands for reasons still unknown.
00:12:41This Sunday in France, there was a choice of
00:12:44heritage days
00:12:48well, we're going to focus on World Cleanup Day,
00:12:52heading to Marseille, Toulouse or Valenciennes. Many volunteers
00:12:56collected tons of waste, report signed by Noémie
00:12:59Dahon, that's perfect, at the end of this
00:13:02grabber, a first cigarette butt to track abandoned
00:13:06waste, in Valenciennes the collection is done as
00:13:09a family, and there's a lot to do, you understand
00:13:13now why you shouldn't throw it away, it's sad because it pollutes the
00:13:17planet a lot, 2 kg 400, a start
00:13:20because by the end of the day these volunteers had collected 400
00:13:24kg. Ah, I have one, yeah, there, I have
00:13:28another one further south in Toulouse, there too we're
00:13:31busy, 50 well-equipped volunteers walk
00:13:34the banks of the Garonne, the goal is to spot
00:13:38litter and fight against the pollution of the
00:13:40river. Very quickly, a
00:13:43piece of waste will release its
00:13:47chemical molecules and degrade in the water, like this tire
00:13:50fished out. Car parts are also found
00:13:54near... in this commercial area, I even found a magnificent
00:13:57hook, it has a drip, there's really everything,
00:14:00you don't necessarily expect it, these young girls woke
00:14:04up early to participate in this big cleanup, maybe it will make people
00:14:08realize that cigarette butts shouldn't be thrown on the ground, that for waste, there
00:14:11are still bins for it, cardboard, metal and
00:14:15plastic, we're going to separate everything, because among the waste
00:14:17found, some can be recycled,
00:14:21last year 400... 34 tons of litter were
00:14:25collected throughout France,
00:14:28that's
00:14:31all for this news, thank you for following us, the night edition returns in 15
00:14:34small minutes, see you later,
00:14:52hello and welcome to a one-on-one on France 24, our guest this week
00:14:56is Simone Ehivet Gbagbo, she is the president of the Capable Generations
00:14:59movement, she is the former first lady of Côte d'Ivoire, you
00:15:03are in Paris for the first time in many years, thank you very much for granting
00:15:07us this interview, thank you, thank you for
00:15:10having me, so we will start with the news in Côte d'Ivoire, the
00:15:14Public Prosecutor announced this Wednesday, September 16, an arrest
00:15:17warrant against Habiba Touré, she is the spokesperson for the former president, your
00:15:21ex-husband Laurent Gbagbo, she is
00:15:24accused of being involved in post-election violence in
00:15:282025, last year, the previous
00:15:31week, another associate of Laurent Gbagbo, Justin Koné Katinan,
00:15:34had been arrested, placed under a detention warrant.
00:15:44but you know, I am always very attentive
00:15:48to the
00:15:51democracy in the country, democracy is
00:15:53also the right
00:15:56for certain people to say what they think,
00:16:00even if they are
00:16:04power that governs the country and...
00:16:08every time there are arrests of this kind, the
00:16:12atmosphere deteriorates and I truly
00:16:15regret it, I would have preferred that there be no more arrests,
00:16:19after the elections or during the elections, we had
00:16:22nearly 1500 people
00:16:25arrested who are still in prison, these are
00:16:28political prisoners, these are political
00:16:30prisoners,
00:16:33you can accuse them of whatever you want, but these are political prisoners and I.
00:16:37when the elections were over, I
00:16:40wished that the issue would be
00:16:43settled and that these prisoners would be
00:16:46released, it's not being done and they keep
00:16:50arresting, it's a shame,
00:16:53so last year, we had an interview together shortly before the
00:16:56elections and you told me that I should call you Madame
00:17:00President, you only garnered 2.4%
00:17:03of the votes, then you had no elected deputies.
00:17:07in the legislative elections, how do you explain
00:17:11this failure? Well, the first thing I could
00:17:15say is that when you go to elections, it's always to
00:17:18win, that's why I told you, I will win,
00:17:22I can win, and you knew it wasn't
00:17:24possible, oh I knew it would be
00:17:27difficult for a number of reasons
00:17:30uh, there were things we had
00:17:33wanted to see uh
00:17:36reformed in... in the elections, we didn't get the
00:17:39reforms, uh, even the electoral lists, we had
00:17:43contested the way the electoral lists were drawn up,
00:17:47we also didn't uh receive any
00:17:50response at that level, we had asked for a discussion
00:17:54with the government, we didn't get that
00:17:58either, and so things went
00:18:01uh we went to these elections because in
00:18:04principle we consider that there should
00:18:08be several candidates when there are
00:18:09elections,
00:18:12you don't regret having gone anyway because such
00:18:15a score, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, the score, that's another
00:18:19thing, that's another thing, it's a disappointment anyway, of course, it's a
00:18:23very big disappointment, especially since
00:18:26participating in a presidential election campaign is tough,
00:18:30even physically, it's an ordeal, and so such
00:18:33a score, it's it's important that it's...
00:18:37it strikes and it wounds,
00:18:40now I preferred not to dwell too
00:18:44much on the on
00:18:47this score there,
00:18:51did the Ivorians not come out to vote,
00:18:54so you talked about the grievances
00:18:57you had against the government, the Independent Electoral
00:19:00Commission, the IEC, it was dissolved last May, for
00:19:04now we don't know what will replace it, uh you have...
00:19:08put a proposal on the table to avoid all
00:19:12controversies, all polemics, a kind of
00:19:15high electoral council that would be apolitical, do you
00:19:18think that is the solution and especially that it is the solution that will
00:19:22be adopted by the executive?
00:19:26I cannot say what the executive will
00:19:29do, I hear rumors uh the
00:19:33rumors I hear go against
00:19:35the proposals I made, but I stand by my
00:19:39proposals, I believe that today, if we want
00:19:43to have good elections with the confidence
00:19:45of the voters that the voters
00:19:49go out to vote, it is
00:19:52absolutely necessary that in the body
00:19:55that presides over the preparation of all elections in
00:19:59our country, there are no longer any representatives of political
00:20:02parties and that there are no longer any
00:20:06representatives of the government.
00:20:08These are the two things that are the basis of our
00:20:12demand, but do you think that is not the path that will be adopted
00:20:16uh we continue to fight and that's why
00:20:20I also visited other
00:20:23political parties so that we can agree
00:20:27on a proposal to make to the government, so
00:20:30just before the presidential election last
00:20:33October, you had been at the origin
00:20:36including with the PDCI, but it didn't
00:20:40work, notably because uh the party
00:20:44of your ex-husband, the PPACI, had not
00:20:47joined it, so on September 1st, you went
00:20:51to the headquarters of this PPACI with other left-wing
00:20:54leaders uh to discuss, I imagine, this subject and others about the formation
00:20:58of a coalition, do you really think that
00:21:02hope is there that this coalition will
00:21:05really succeed when it had failed last year, well, as you
00:21:09see, we made a concrete written
00:21:12proposal that can be examined by everyone, we
00:21:16sent this... proposal to all parties,
00:21:20including the RHDP, the ruling party, the ruling
00:21:23party, and well, uh, now we are
00:21:26discussing, uh, a certain number of parties, we are
00:21:29discussing, and we wished that the
00:21:32PPACI would join us in this
00:21:35discussion, that's why we went to meet the
00:21:38PPACI at its headquarters, and
00:21:42discuss with its leaders, President Gbagbo was
00:21:45not there, but uh, he had himself uh... uh represented
00:21:49by uh truly high-ranking
00:21:52personalities of the PPACI party
00:21:56who uh received our
00:21:59proposal who are discussing with us. We have
00:22:02also visited the PDCI,
00:22:06uh who also received our proposal and who
00:22:09is also discussing with us uh the
00:22:13DCI, which is the party led by Mr. Asalet
00:22:16Timoko, is also uh with us conducting these
00:22:20discussions, we are uh, we
00:22:23have several proposals on the table, there's ours which is the
00:22:26first, but there are uh two other
00:22:29proposals that are also on the table and that we are
00:22:32dealing with to have a position to have a common
00:22:35position, so you say Laurent Gbagbo was not present, did you
00:22:39talk to him about this rapprochement,
00:22:43do you no longer communicate since his return? We remember that it
00:22:46had been somewhat humiliating images for you,
00:22:50uh yes, well,
00:22:54hand, well, the past remains the past, uh today we
00:23:00move forward, did you talk to him, that was my question about
00:23:03uh to himself, no, but that's not
00:23:06necessary, we send a letter, we send the
00:23:09letter and then the party replies to us, uh we sent the
00:23:12letter with our
00:23:15text and the party replied to us, we
00:23:19are ready to listen to you, we want to hear you, we
00:23:23wish you, we propose that we meet on such a date and well there you
00:23:27go, it happens, uh you are in France notably to, I was going to say, mobilize your
00:23:30party a little, do you feel because we also heard that there
00:23:34have been resignations right and left, do you feel
00:23:37that this is a difficult moment and that the survival
00:23:41of your party is at stake at this moment, no, absolutely not,
00:23:44absolutely not, uh when we finished the presidential elections, when
00:23:48we finished uh the legislative elections, we
00:23:52uh stopped to make
00:23:55an assessment of all this work, all this activity
00:23:59and we had already decided to restructure the party a
00:24:03little and we were right in the
00:24:06restructuring of the party when these resignations came but
00:24:09already for several
00:24:13years the comrades from France and Europe
00:24:17had asked me to come and talk
00:24:20with them, share with them, and it is in this
00:24:23context that I am here, so we are going to
00:24:27officially install our
00:24:30leaders, we are going to invest them, we are going to
00:24:33discuss a little bit about the work program and then
00:24:36that's it, does that mean that you would be ready again
00:24:40to be a candidate for a future presidential election or what happened last
00:24:43time which was hard as you said earlier, vaccinated
00:24:47you against that, you should never be against
00:24:50something, when what you are
00:24:53looking for is the positive for the nation,
00:24:57what I want is that the Ivorian nation
00:25:01be completely transformed, so you do not exclude a new
00:25:04candidacy,
00:25:06we'll see, it's a bit early to talk about it, but we'll see, so
00:25:10you are in France, it's been since
00:25:13the events of 2010, 2011, you hadn't
00:25:17set foot in France? since
00:25:212007 or 2008
00:25:24there you go it's I imagine a gesture for you because
00:25:28obviously there were these events we remember you
00:25:31said it on this microphone of France 24 six years ago you
00:25:35accused the French army of not having
00:25:38protected you against attempts of
00:25:41rape during your arrest in
00:25:432011 I imagine that you maintain these statements but
00:25:47that this visit is still symbolic,
00:25:50symbolique,
00:25:53what happened in 2011 at the time
00:25:56of my arrest, it was something very
00:25:58serious, I was attacked.
00:26:03I even as I said there were some
00:26:06who even tried to make me lie down, to rape me and everything
00:26:10but the observation I made at the time, I talked about it,
00:26:14is that the French army was there and the French
00:26:17were there with cameras
00:26:20filming, they didn't lift a finger to help anyone
00:26:24among us, they were there
00:26:27in front of the French house, they
00:26:31were there just
00:26:34presidential residence, well
00:26:38today I come back first
00:26:41for my militant comrades with whom I come
00:26:45to work, discuss and
00:26:49then well, I will still meet friends who have done politics
00:26:52or who do politics in France, I will
00:26:55meet them, have you forgiven
00:26:59France? Oh yes.
00:27:03Oh yes, you know, I wrote it in my book
00:27:06when I was in Audiéné
00:27:09prison, I was led to
00:27:12forgive President Alassan
00:27:14Watara, so why would I forgive
00:27:18him, and then France, I won't
00:27:20forgive. Simon, thank you very much

00:30:07Hello everyone, happy to have you back in the rest of the late edition,
00:30:10here are the headlines of this news: in
00:30:13Germany, he calls the regional elections a
00:30:17disaster, more fragile than
00:30:19ever, Chancellor Fredrich Schmerz acknowledges this
00:30:22historic setback for his party, the CDU, evicted
00:30:26for the first time from a regional parliament, but he
00:30:30intends to remain in office, we will see why. Our
00:30:34countries are two great independent nations that want to remain so
00:30:37in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister
00:30:41Mccarni display their unity in the face of
00:30:44tensions with Donald Trump's America. And
00:30:47then this victory without suspense for Vladimir Putin's party in the
00:30:51legislative elections, United Russia would win with more than
00:30:5549% of the votes and can count on parties favorable to the
00:30:58Kremlin.
